Renault trucks Re-manufacturing Case Solution & Answer

STRENGTHS:

IN-HOUSE:

The basic strength that has made Renault the market leader is their huge manpower, as discussed earlier they have employed 15000 people approx. A strong sales team across the Europe also contributes to their huge revenues as they have 1500 sales outlet only in France. Then their wide range of customers are across the globe that’s because Renault is now in around 80 countries. According to the case, they had one of the best delivery time, as the remanufacturing parts were delivered within 48hours across the international dealer network. Renault is also a high financially strong firm. As discussed in the case, the company hit $64million mark in revenue in 2000 when they sold 170000 units. This also gave them $19million of product margin. In addition to this, they were enjoying the $488million Revenue from just its parts business giving them a product margin of $192million. This overall Growth in sales has actually boosted their confidence for giving after new experiments.

FOREIGN:

The plan of changing their track from manufacturing to re-manufacturing paid dividends as it was liked by mechanics across the globe in auto industry. It is estimated that around nine million ton of waste is contributed by vehicle industry but after the remanufacturing, Renault was now producing less waste. They were now right on track to combat a global climate issue. Other factor that was going in their favor was the reduced cost on the remanufactured goods. Also, they were getting good demand internationally so they decided to focus on remanufacturing thoroughly. Remanufacturing actually gave them an edge over other competitors which strengthened their position in the market and now the competitors too had to consider re-manufacturing. As discussed earlier Renault also had an upper hand over others because of their fast delivery time, they were sending the repaired parts in 48hours. Fast delivery time meant that they were highly efficient and wanted to provide a good service. Other than this, they were giving the same one year warranty worldwide on repaired parts with the same enhanced performances.
